I have a coral beauty that I recently added to the tank and I’m noticing a white line on its left side. It seems more pronounced when bending his body to the right. The fish is acting normal and is eating and picking at the rocks. I’ve attempted to attach a video.

That line is an injury and consistent with your rock in which I see many sharp edges. It should heal on its own however stands risk of infection. My best recommendation without having to remove fish would be treatment with ruby Rally pro which will keep it guarded and is reef safe.
